Aotearoa..... The Rose.

We have had persistent drizzly rain today. When in town I bought a book for a Christmas gift for the two little boys who live next door. The book is "I Need a New Bum" and is very funny. Immensely popular with little kids, it is sold out whenever the bookshop gets more copies in. I had to order this copy.
I spotted this enchanting rose as I walked through "Roselands", one of our garden centers. It is Aotearoa... an exquisite rose.
